well. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got a few jerks you're covered. from

a bird's eye view the oddly shaped triangle formed by moscow's kremlin could be seen as the heart of. a small state within a state these red walls have been protecting moscow's kremlin for more than five centuries so to give you an idea of its size so we decided to actually go around it before going inside we have a start right here at the tower so time you watch. the

extent of the kremlin walls is over two kilometers and if you want to go around it you better go real fast because the winters in russia are really cold it's minus ten today. the first kremlin was built south of woods poured out a couple of times before being rebuilt in white stowed. three hundred years later the walls in a tower square faced with a famous red rake but if you actually pulled away the red brick you would see a wall as whites as a bridal gown and some of those walls are almost six meters thick. right here on the red square wasn't depend moats filled with water and together with the ring of twenty towers it made the kremlin and inaccessible fortress known

around the world. that there was another target log worse to witness it took us twenty seven minutes to go around the kremlin walls but what was behind them well join me on a journey to the heart of the kremlin to places him from the tourist he's going to meet some real criminal insiders although they may not be the usual news makers you see on t.v. . so that you're going to meet true kremlin scholar this man is practically saturated with kremlin history so good to that of the day look and finally we meet good to see you sir couldn't ask a gate is the major passage into the kremlin and traditionally it has always been open for arriving visitors during the day since the time of ivan the terrible sars an emperor has used it when visiting moscow anyone entering the gates take off

their high note to all of the savior of smaller whose image can be seen above the gate. and tearing through again to enforce backwards traditional legend has it that when napoleon passed through the gate in moscow in eight hundred twelve the winds tore his famous by calling from his head confront the savior. in one nine hundred forty five the soviet union martial. broke both rules in one moment he entered dressed square through spassky gate to receive the first victory day parade on horseback and wearing his service cap. i think every male so when did the i can appear here. has been here since the sixteenth century but disappeared during the soviet era it was only a year ago that restorers discovered the icon under

a layer of plaster while examining the mystery almost thanks to them it was saved. in the name of the father. and the holy spirit. is busking gate was open for passage until the late ninety's but motor transport to and from the kremlin disturbed tourists walking along the red square and the kremlin walls and with the new millennium came the decision to close the gate. now it opens only on special occasions during the ninth of may fixture a day parade for example or on inauguration day to receive the presidential motorcade. the only other visitor to pass through the gate is a giant christmas tree put up earlier celebrations. could you lead me through those gates no but we can enter the kremlin through the private entrance

a secret entrance for a closed circle is just around the corner. because very easy to get inside the kremlin together with you as for me i've always wanted to get to the kremlin clock and especially to the bells what was it seems a child i always stood outside looking at the clock and i thought a magician lived there who manage the clock and also when the bells rang i was simply routines to the ground can i get inside with more to put up with us but you're not dressed warmly enough there's a strong wind up there i was very cold i think you'll have to put on something warmer. this bosco tower was the heart of the kremlin's defensive line it was and to suppose that any offensive would come from the southeast and that the tower would be to first attacked as a result house rifle an artillery units in the main seventeenth century spa sky tower was the first to bear the team had eight eagle emblem of russia during soviet

times they were all with red. the five point stores. but the towers true jam has its chimes its clock face has a six meters diameter the rim numerals and clock hands are all gold plated a total of twenty eight kilograms of gold is needed just to coat them. inside this bass guitar right now we're going to meet a true tower wizard you can those are of course all about how to keep time in this tower. has become. so good to meet you so wanted to clock appear in the tower. charms we see today have been here since they seem fifty two. clocks appeared on the spot sky tower during the time of zometa while romanov let me tell you more about them at the top of all that i'm following you. to reach the

clock one has to climb nine floors of spiral stairs. hear the clock your stern steadily waking every fifteen minutes to signal the bells to strike every quarter hour for one big hit on the hours and. if you'd be true you know the purpose of the bells ringing previously when few people had watches the chimes informed everyone of the toy. previously the clock course operated manually but since nine hundred thirty seven three electric motors to go over everything else has been preserved in its original form. especially a tower clock is the oldest one in the. can you see the pointer at the end of this point to regulate the speed of the clocks motion if the clock blocks behind it increases the speed if it's fast pointer slows it down so they do lag

behind where you never notice it because once it starts to pick up specialists quickly eliminate the problem acting like an ambulance so far we haven't noticed it but we're close to reeling that's right. this is an ancient bell ringing here a mechanism for setting up melodies at this basket tower it's almost two and a half meters in diameter and what is it sing it sing the national anthem of russia . yes yes. that's strike the melody of russia's national anthem every six hours cables run from the drum below to the very top where the bells chime in the bell tower. well here are the bells yes we're in the bell tower. if you look at it still house a wooden sealer. forty eight bells hang here in imperial times but were lost during

the soviet era today the chimes sing the russian anthem with ten bells and a few metal beats up here attempt stories of the ground it's always very windy. we've got to go now because the main bells in us are regaining and we are risking the carrying death and also it's very cold so we're getting out of here. being from the noises of the bells just a few minutes later i found myself near the kremlin central square where people are preparing for especially that so right now we're in a cathedral square where a giant fir tree is being decorated for near celebrations these streets tents between the palaces

a warship and the palaces of the stars and can just tell you something one hundred years old which basically means that it was worn when the last start was still alive. one can see that this russian christmas tree has won a very demanding seasonal beauty pageant. gardner spent several months searching moscow regions for the right candidate at least thirty meters tall pyramid shaped and displaying ample flowing each once these criteria is where match the judges ignored the wait and. see is especially ordered for this christmas tree and it's carried straight into the kremlin. it's not dirty or mirrors high it's like twenty times my height and in no time base three is going to be wearing at the department store was jewelry and decorations about two thousand. one thousand five hundred meters of garland that's like almost enough to surround the kremlin tussle with.

the trees decorations from top to bottom to begin with a large star of bethlehem on top it is a quarter of the size of the rugby stars atop the kremlin towers but during the holiday season it is the most important one of all. though they look oversized the ornaments are light kremlin old timers believe that if you have a chance to hang at least one piece on to the tree and make a wish balance to come true. so now we're going to talk to just like decorate this gravely you're a tree. i wonder how long he's been doing this for hot leads us to sergei for how long have you been decorating christmas trees. well this is the first time that i'm decorating this tree for the past four years i've been working with christmas trees at cathedral square if you so who decides how to decorate a christmas tree which is

a design project is drawn up to clearly define how to handle these decorations by the way the total weights of the decorated christmas tree is thirty tonnes and four hundred kilos. well if this size of the tree is any indicator the presents under it also promised much. don't count on the. prime.

the next point of my journey is the grand kremlin palace usually it is of anywhere important state ceremonies dignitaries are invited here but in the past children were also received thousands of them came to celebrate. tradition never reaching holidays for children in the kremlin they expect to more than fifty years the first reception was the new ground kremlin palaces largest whole st georges in one nine hundred fifty four. back then the giant christmas tree most tracks directly up the stairs through their front door without much thought for the ancient interior over sixty meters deep st george's hall is the size of a football pitch a giant fir tree used to be mounted right here in this massively have the object used to be dragged across this park here floor that was originally late in eight hundred forty five. when it's scraped chanda leers each one weighing three tons by

the way and it's tinkling produced an almost surreal eerie chime also large nails were hammered into this four to six this huge christmas tree the kids who danced and sang in this hall where were asked not to shuffle because it would ruin the floor nevertheless the interior was heavily damaged even i was asked to come in with soft indoor shoes and i tried my best. these goals honor the memory of heroes who received the order of st george for their courage and this is a second generation. he's also a fine but a fighter to preserve the homes reconstruction stood what has changed after the reconstruction but i but i still support the park it has definitely changed as much as they covered it with high quality vanished to make it bright. it's very rare is that in two percent of the park it survived since eight hundred forty five when it

was laid. this it percent of the flooring was it plays during restoration in one thousand sixty eight thousand nine hundred sixty nine it took. to restore. the. children's parties were moved to a new building in the early sixty's the kremlin palace of congress and built on that . it's obvious that this building is from the soviet era and it stands in stark contrast with the kremlin's architectural character the palace used to be a key side for communist forums and now it's the most prestigious musical venue in this country and also a stage where the world's greatest artists show as now or staying elton john tina turner here they made they've all been here. and here. it is right now free her stores are underway in the state kremlin palace for any performance for thousands of kids. inside we have an appointment with the kremlin

oldtimer children's writer alexander couldn't get the script to the very first thirty children story we were party in one thousand and fifty three minutes and when that i think we've broken the soviet tradition of staging of filming says here at the kremlin before the above with all our shots the tree would light up then kids would be shown to play with the revolution we speak. with them on change the plugs into.

carlos nevertheless. by tradition at the end of the show the main character of the new year celebrations makes his grand entrance something the. children always leave kremlin with gifts however the greatest drama is after the show when parents surround the new year's tree to pick the children up to disperse like an incredibly inner sanctum. she so how did you like the show was it a kid did it give you a shock. all right so now it's about time to find out where one can even hear the really kitchen is not far on the fifth floor of the state criminal palace and we're on our way to meet with a sam kremlin chef he called up foot. high you know sophie you

called us was to meet you say are the new chef there once talking about just what's here so this is. where we prepare most you would. order of fruit vegetables i can show you short let's go let's over there this is our secret here that's where we lose you put hot cools. it with you and it's so if you fake people that so you're the chef and you're thirty five ways are they scared of you. yeah. so this is where all the sugar sins take place on the rebate or. so good and they want to show you where i have the privilege to work. there's usually you told me the kitchens are in a basement you can have promised me to teach how to cook one of president favorite dishes for you and i want you to make some kind of for me.

i won't. make you. in the world. i don't think i'm. very fond of fish. for example lobster salad. in a. sophisticated. on a business trips so when someone. treats. also traditional. security officers. as

a rule are very carefully checked before presidential mouth. so when you are the person you have like secret service i do that. to. make sure that. the people. personally at international receptions. choose to go with i guess i can say that i. have some. it's.

own little even from when this is so good. after lunch and there is an order perhaps in stars bedroom but i decided first to acquaint myself with those who watch over the peace and quiet in the kremlin. a whole regiment of young soldiers live here guarding the kremlin and the president. ballots. the presidential regiment is rehearsing a performance with weapons denise and kim are not only soldiers but also honor guards they protected to both the unknown soldier at the eternal flame. can you please show me some special tricks if you like continue if you want all right let's do it for the present commander is. b. i'm going to unfold the bayonet to go let me show you the superman the they're up

to the shoulder. to the foot hold the carbine with the right term i'm not going to cut myself on my you but you won't cut yourself and i'm told that. almost no one now shoulder the way but sure but good to reach a little bit you're told with your left you're. holding it if you're going to be of be careful and should not lean on the left shoulder. this is the position in which we start the honor guard on the fourth. young man between eighteen and twenty or selected across the country for the presidential regiment. one can see that they are precious elite in perfect health was a good background and professional appearance. for the guards very handsome young man of similar hates are chosen so that they look like twins. for their emergency situations when people break the existing bones for example if people

step over the chain we warn them with this kind of signal where they're going with signal and tapping the rifle on the ground the public immediately understands what this noise means and don't go any further. the most frequent violators of the rules are young girls that always try to flirt with the guards but this is to no avail the guards are not allowed to move never mind smile. so here is your signature move what is about we would raise the leg about seventy eighty degrees move the body forward and put the full foot on the ground there was this makes the food you step with and bend a little. quick march. first you're doing it well you could join your company in a couple of months. to the right. it's time for the guys to prepare for the changing of the guard but i couldn't miss a chance to take

a look at their uniform wardrobe. when it is cold we wear ceremonial overcoats the overcoats are very warm with a strong color of. course you can when the temperature is twenty degrees below zero we were warmer uniform cold the because. it is made of dense fabric plus it has very warm fur it feels hot and it even when it's minus twenty. hard journey into the heart of kremlin is coming to an end and means time for me to move behind the kremlin walls so i can make it for the changing of the guards i think are changing every hour daily from eight am to eight pm these guys rape me was there minus thirty winter torrential rains outrageous hits in the summer but of course the hardest part is to stand there motionless no matter what but hey that's

the price you pay to live rent free inside the kremlin. boron hair. or. a rod. white so tell me how much my hair primary. was there a pentagon.
